Got Mercury?

Did you know...



So turns out, in my case, never trying dolphin meat was actually a step in the direction of self-preservation.

However, this is not the only seafood that contains dangerously high levels of mercury. According to the Natural Resources Defence Council, one of the most common ways in which people are exposed to mercury is through tuna fish. In fact, if I (weighting 125lbs/57kg) were to eat just one can of tuna per week I would be exceeding the safe level of mercury ingestion outlined by the Environmental Protection Agency. Makes my tuna salad look quite a bit less appealing...
